MARRIED,
On Wednesday evening last by the Rev. Dr. Linn, Doctor William Doll of Colchester, to Miss Sophia Christina Bauman, daughter of Col. Sebastian Bauman of this city.
At Norwalk, on Monday evening the 26th ult. by the Rev. Mr. Ogilvie, Mr. James Jarvis of this city, to Miss Betsey Mott of that place.
May blessings, without ceasing,
Upon their heads descend;
And pleasures, ne’er decreasing,
With love and friendship blend.
Soon a fair train surrounding,
May they enraptur’d see;
In antic races bounding,
Or prattling on the knee.
And when, with heads declining,
And silver’d o’er with age,
Their latest breath resigning,
They quit this mortal stage;
May the angelic legions
Their happy souls convey
High to the blissful regions
Of everlasting day.

This change in the periods of observation, will be continued in future.
